Marama Neighbourhood - Sold

Marama is one of several Māori names for the moon.

In ancient times te Marama was used as a guide for planting and fishing and to a large extent was seen to have power over the weather.For example, if the new moon came in upright or almost with its face bent north it denoted fine weather but if it came in ‘belly up’ it was said to be full of water and a sign of bad weather.
